After coming back from their ERASMUS mobilities the teachers Ingrid Marquès, Manel Clemente, Martí Rovira and Carles Torné will make an oral presentation of their experience at the two institutions they visited from 26th February to 2nd March 2018.

On this presentation the teacher Ingrid Marquès will explain how she delivered a workshop about Lettering at the Faculty of Graphic Arts of the University of Zagreb, one of our ERASMUS partner institutions:

Lettering: Idioms and sayings

Participants: Students from diferent European institutions

The main theme of this workshop is to work with students from several institutions in the same project using typical idioms and expressions from their languages.

Taking the words of an idiom or saying, the students will work trying to express the main idea giving shape to the message using lettering.

Students will be working with the principles of Calligraphy and Lettering and, in a broader sense, participating on a cultural exchange.

The results of these workshops will be communicated to the working groups. In a near future a collective exhibition will be organized to allow students to exchange ideas and assess their work.

The overall aim of this workshop consisted in creating a cultural exchange using representative expressions of each country and creating awareness of the cultural environment of the different students.

On the other hand the teachers Carles Torné, Manel Clemente and Martí Rovira will explain how they delivered a short presentation about the institutions EASD Pau Gargallo and ESDAP Catalunya and a presentation about Photography Festivals in Barcelona area at the Faculty of Graphic Arts of the University of Zagreb.

The overall objectives of these talks consisted in strengthening the relationship between our institutions and building collaboration between teachers and students from their institutions.

The four professors from EASD Pau Gargallo and ESDAP Catalunya had a working meeting with the Head of International Relations Office Ivana Zganjar and the professor Teo Zezeji from the Department of Photography.

They also had a meeting with Ivona Nestić, an ERASMUS student who finished her Master studies at our institution during the academic year 16-17 and made an exhibition about her final project at ESDAP Catalunya campus Pau Gargallo in December 2017.
